Still the summer heatwave is with us as we return to Great Haywood Marina. The next day we take the car to Fenny Compton Marina ready for our arrival back there in a week or so. We then caught a rare bus from the village ,which took us to Leamington Spa where we caught a train to Stafford. Then after a short walk from the station we caught another bus to to the Marina. Thank goodness for our bus passes!
Our journey now follows a much travelled route along the Trent and Mersey, then onto the Coventry Canal, North Oxford and then pick up the South Oxford which will take us back to Fenny.
The towpaths and the surrounding countryside are looking very parched after such a very long spell with no rain, however we did have some gentle rain overnight. It was a lovely sound on the roof of Hunters Moon. However, it was not enough to bring any greeness to our surroundings.
After the waterways being very quiet on our previous trips this season they are now very, very busy. It has been quite a change for us but good to see boats being used rather than being stuck in marinas.
